Best of Maldives 7 nights (Emperor)
Malé round trip with a check dive near port, then a loop through North Malé, Rasdhoo, Ari, Vaavu and South Malé; the last day has one morning dive and a return to port around 13:00. Emperor publishes possible sites grouped by atoll (listed here in page order, not dive order) and says there is no fixed itinerary; Alimatha is mentioned for a nurse-shark night dive. Some departures run 10–11 nights.
